Add GitLab Developer Portal to site footer
The ~"group::integrations" team have had feedback from a 3rd party about their experience adding a new integration to the codebase (see Google meeting doc internal only).
Many of the difficulties they experienced were to do with documentation:
- Discovering relevant documentation.
- Navigating between relevant documentation pages.
- Documentation that laid out the overall concepts and choices.
The GitLab Developer Portal https://developer.gitlab.com would have been the perfect resource for them had they discovered it, but it lacks discoverability. (Additionally, very few of the ~"group::integrations" team themselves were aware of this resource until diving into this organisation's pain points.)
The GitLab Developer Portal should be linked from the main GitLab footer on https://about.gitlab.com so it is a discoverable resource. The word Developers
is often the word used to link to such a guide on the footer.
